Farnsworth sits in the Texas Panhandle, a tiny farming community in Ochiltree County with just 97 residents. This is a PO Box Only Zone, which means there's no alternative to the post office for receiving mail. Rural carriers deliver to some addresses along FM 376 and County Road 7, but the 46 PO Boxes at the Farnsworth post office serve as the mail hub for the area.
The post office maintains 46 PO Boxes for 34 households, giving an adoption rate of 1.35. That ratio shows the post office doesn't just serve the immediate town. Ranchers and farmers from surrounding areas drive in to pick up their mail.
With 94% of homes owner-occupied (32 of 34 units), this is a stable community where families have put down roots. Farnsworth's street grid is minimal: Farnsworth Street, Rae Street, Locust, Aspen, and Section Avenue. Eight homes date to before 1939, hinting at the town's origins as an early Panhandle settlement.
The median age is 37.8 years, and the population skews older. Only two residents are under 25. The 43 total housing units include 9 vacancies, though none are seasonal.
Street names mix the town's namesake with farm roads and tree names typical of Panhandle communities.
ZIP Code 79033 has 97 residents and 34 households (average 2.85 persons per household). The median age is 37.8 years, slightly older than the state (35.6) and slightly younger than the nation (38.8). The gender split is 42.3% male and 57.7% female, which is much lower than the state male share (49.4%), making this a female-majority area. Largest groups are White (70.1%, much higher than the state average of 50.1% and well above the national average of 61.6%) and Hispanic or Latino (27.8%); Hispanic or Latino residents make up 27.8%, which is much lower than the state average (39.3%).
